BORDER

When working the border, crochet over the ends. Tie the ones next to each other together to tighten them. Trim them to a couple inches long. When single crocheting around, make sure to crochet over them.

sc down the side of the rectangle, working 1 sc in the end of each row. As you work over the ends, the back might look messy but remember that this will be on the inside of the pillow.

Continue working across to the bottom corner, across the bottom, and then up the opposite side from where you started.

Fasten off. Leave a long end for sewing.

SEWING

Face everything wrong side out. Wrap the large rectangle in a circular shape and secure one end piece with stitch markers.

Use the long end from the circle to whip stitch them together.

Repeat on other side.

Weave in all the ends.

Turn right side out.

Use long end from rectangle to sew the bottom of the pillow closed with whip stitch.

About halfway across, begin to stuff with poly-fil. Continue sewing and continue stuffing until there are a few stitches left.

Stuff, stuff, stuff!

Then finish up sewing. Fasten off.

Weave in the ends.
